April was clean up.
You opened everything you started.
Got it out of your head and onto a board:
You cut it down.
Figured out what matters.
No more than 3 things in progress at once.
If you had more, you paused them
You picked the ones that matter.
You sorted everything:
If it was close to done → finish it
If it was stuck → find what’s blocking itIf it didn’t matter → remove it
Now we use that.
May is Finish It May.
- No new ideas
- No adding more to your plate.
- You take what’s already in progress and finish it.
- Pick one thing.
The one that matters most. Stay on it until it’s done. Not almost done. Not half done. Done.
If something isn’t moving, don’t avoid it.
Ask: what is stopping this from finishing? Then deal with that directly.
- Break it down.
- Get the info.
- Follow up.
- Or drop it.
No new tasks go into progress until something is finished.
